While other stores and their employees prep for the most chaotic shopping day of the year, recreation and outdoor retailer Recreational Equipment Inc, (REI) will close its doors for the third year in a row.

Stumped on where to go
Black Friday shopping? Here's a complete guide for top sites and stores and what they have to offer. Amazon's pre-Black Friday sales have begun and are updated daily, but you'll need to wait for the bigger sales on items like the Echo and Fire tablets. Target will have deals up Thanksgiving morning on items like TVs and game consoles, which will all include free shipping. Costco will offer some great deals on things like the latest tech online Nov. 23 and continue in-store through the 27th. JCPenney is already running discounts on a variety of appliances and will open stores Nov. 23. Deals will run through Nov. 24. Best Buy is going to have sales on things like a 128 GB iPad mini 4 ($274.99) and a Microsoft Xbox One S 500GB bundle for $249.99. Mostly everything will be available online and in-store beginning Thanksgiving morning.

Other stores, however, would rather get in on the action and have chosen to keep their doors open through the maddness, with many opening as early as 5 a.m. on Friday and some even opting to open in the evening on Thanksgiving Day.

Take a look through the gallery above to see stores that will be participating in Black Friday and their hours.
